What some good metal?

i don't know if my interest in bands would be called metal. but i am trying to find good metal that dos not sound like someone suffering . i want more of a sound of anger and fighting against social problems.

i picked up on bands like

red

disturbed

atreyu

but, i only listen to them for a short while . did not hold my interest for long.

thanks for the help.

Well,

Killswitch Engage - Newest album sucks because lead vocals left but the rest are good

DevilDriver

Slipknot

All That Remains

Demon Hunter

August Burns Red

 

Theres a lot of variety here so let me know what sounds good and what sounds bad. Its mostly metalcore with a hint of Death

 

adding to this, does anyone know of some good metal that doesn't have any vocals?

Jeff Loomis 

I'm trying to get into some metal as well. You should try listening to Eluveitie. Some of their songs do sound like someone screaming, but some are more vocal lead.

RED isn't metal, but it is certainly a great band. I enjoy their music as well.

Sorry those bands are not doing it for me.

I don't think metal is your thing then, maybe more hard rock style?

gothic metal seems a little interesting.

aluminum is great, steel is a classic. titanium is like the new kid in town, and then there are all kinds of amazing alloys.

Hold on now, I actually agree with him. I find most of those bands kinda blah. I used to be able to listen to some of them, but they don't hold my interest much these days.

You mentioned gothic stuff... try some of these (not goth, but somewhat darker):

  • Helheim
  • Vesania
  • Agalloch
  • Ne Obliviscaris
  • Drudkh
  • Bound by Entrails
  • Insomnium
  • The Foreshadowing
  • A Forest of Stars
  • Peste Noire
  • Unexpect
  • Lacrimosa 

What would you recommend? I figured he probably wouldn't like Amon Amarth, Moonsorrow, Omnium Gatherum ect, because he doesn't like stuff that sounds like someone suffering which I think translates to the harsh vocals? Those were the only ones I had that didn't really have them.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. i did not find anything i really like. i do appreciate the help.

i use to listen to stuff like nirvana, sound garden, metallica's black album,beck,

And listen to song in metal with the lady's singing and then growl as they sung.

so again thanks for the suggestions 

Here is some gothic stuff I like

Tiamat - Cain

Omega Lithium - Stigmata

Ok I don't know why you guys are piling all this unrelated metal onto him when he wants punk bands from the "nu metal" sounding era hence the slight metal influence, so with that said you might like:

 

-Old A Day To Remember ( Try the album "For Those Who Have Heart")

-Maybe some old I Killed The Prom Queen?(Music for he Recently Deceased album)

-Maybe Of Mice & Men (first 2 albums)

and maybe Bring me the Horizon's new album?

Alright, revision 2

Avenged Sevenfold

Breaking Benjamin

Drowning Pool

Evanescence

Egypt Central

Five Finger Death Punch

Flyleaf

Foo Fighters

Godsmack 

Hinder

Korn?

Rise Against

Sabaton?

Saliva

Shinedown

Skillet

System of a Down

Theory of a Deadman

Tyr

 

That's what I got in the nu metal and hard rock categories. I think these are gonna fit you more than what most people here (myself included) interpret when you say metal. 

good stuff , "i killed the prom queen" has a good sound.

 

thanks for the list.

  • Meshuggah (death)
  • Impious (death)
  • Darkthrone (black) between 92 to 95 was top tier IMO
  • Pantera (thrash)
  • Sepultura(Thrash)

and my brain froze I might edit this if I recall more metal I like and haven't been listed yet.

Good ol' Australian old school metalcore!
